John Chapter 17

Jesus Prays for Himself
1   These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify you:
2   As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
3   And this is life eternal, to know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4   I have glorified you on the earth: I have finished the work which you gave me to do.
5   And now, O Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was.

Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6   I have manifested your name unto the men that you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.
7   Now they have known that all things whatsoever you have given me are of you.
8   For I have given unto them the words which you gave me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from you, and they have believed that you did send me.
9   I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them that you have given me; for they are yours.
10   And all mine are yours and yours are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11   And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father,  keep  through  your  own  name  those whom you have given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12   While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13   And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14   I have given them your word; and the world has  hated  them,  because  they are  not  of  the world, even as I am not of the world.
15   I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.
16   They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17   Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
18   As you have sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19   And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers
20   Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word;
21   That they all may be one; as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22   And the glory which you gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23   I in them, and you in me, that they may be made  perfect  in  one;  and  that  the  world  may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.
24   Father, I will that they also, whom you have given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which you have given me: for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25   O righteous Father, the world has not known  you:  but  I  have known you, and these have known that you have sent me.
26   And I have declared unto them your name, and will declare it: that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.
